Images are uploaded using a multipart form encoded POST. The first part contains the metadata as a typical API XML or JSON structure. The second part contains the image data.

Can you give us an example of how to upload multiple images to an item? Thanks!
I'd like to see an example of how to upload multiple images to an item as well.
This would be of interest, as previously I thought you could only upload one image at a time via the API.
can someone provide an example in c#
